You would need to update the favicon.ico with your own. Browsers do cache favicons so you may not see it update straight away in browsers.

Thanks...solved. I didn't realise there is a WWF favicon file in the \forum folder...I replaced it and now everything works fine.

Strangely, this was not necessary in V9....I simply had my own favicon file in the root folder.

I acknowledge the following are all minor issues. I'm simply letting you know as they can be fixed easily to keep WWF looking 100% sharp!

I just noticed a small formatting issue. When you try to thank yourself a square box tells you "You can not thank yourself":

  1. when its a closed topic the QUOTE and REPLY options don't show...the result is that the square box goes off-screen to the right so one needs to scroll right. 
  2. it should read "cannot"

A couple of typos in admin:

  1. Cookie Domain
    This is the domain the cookies are created for. An incorrect domain will mean that cookies will not work.This should be left blank unless frames are coursing (<CHANGE TO "CAUSING") cookies to not be set correctly.
  2. URL Rewriting:
    If you are using URL Rewriting then enabled (<CHANGE TO "ENABLE") this to improve Search Engine Indexing. You can tell if your are using URL writing if the page names within your forum end in '.html'.
  3. Create Sessions for Search Engines (NOT RECOMENDED): (<CHANGE TO "RECOMMENDED")
    It is recommended that you do NOT enable this feature. By keeping this feature disabled, known Search Engines will not have an SID number added to URL's, which improves Search Engine Indexing.

I see you have made these mods for the final release...thanks!

I refer back to the problem of the server requirements test hanging up my CPU until W3WP.exe timed out. 

I just installed the final...the same issue occurred again after a reboot...this time with version 9 test after which timed out...but the second time it and version 10 worked instantly...what is it that might be looping W3WP the first time this and indeed the licence registration functions are run?

The server test page doe not have any loop code it runs one test to connect to our network using Microsoft.XMLHTTP component. It then runs a number of tests to see what components are installed by attempting to create an instance of that component as an object, if it fails to create the object then the component is not installed.

It is all fairly simple and apart from adding in the test for AspJPEG the server test page has not been changed since 2007.

I have a feeling that this issue maybe related to your network as the Microsoft.XMLHTTP component can cause high CPU usage if it is unable to connect to the resource and will stay there till it times out. You can use other components like MSXML2.ServerXMLHTTP or MSXML3.ServerXMLHTTP which perform better but find that older servers do not always have these components. The Microsoft.XMLHTTP one is part of IE and so is found on all servers allowing support back to Windows 2000.

I acknowledge there is no loop in your code and that the issue apparently existed with WWF9 too...

...I suspect something is being asked of IIS and is failing to complete properly the first time yet works in a split second on the subsequent attempt.

Lets not forget something very similar also happened when I simply tried to do licensing...is that a clue?

To help, I am noticing nothing in the event log. There is little network involved as the browser, iis and sql server are on the same box. I don't know the components you mentioned...but you probably mean IIS web server not IE browser as this happens with both Opera and IE browsers.

Strange...if I get any more clues I'll post...

As you mention this happens with licensing also it certainly sounds like an issue with Microsoft.XMLHTTP on your server.

Microsoft.XMLHTTP is part of IE (yes the web browser). To see if you can fix the issue try upgrading or reinstalling IE and see if that clears up the issue.
